ISO a Vegan Pasta Salad for Brunch that will please Veg and Non-Veg alike

I'm hosting a New Years Day brunch and while the menu is definitely not vegan or even vegetarian (ham, bagels and lox, french toast casserole, mini-frittatas, mini-muffins) there will be one or two vegans there and I want to have a little something for them to eat. We'll have fruit salad and some vegetable kabobs (mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, peppers, onions) but I was going to do a grain salad of some sort. Either couscous, quinoa or pasta. I know I can do a good southwest couscous salad (black beans, corn, avacado, etc) but that doesn't quite feel very "winter brunch" to me. Any suggestions for something fun that would work well with a brunch but that isn't overtly vegan (no veganaise, seitan or tofu please)? Thanks.
